Are you someone that is looking to make a change in the world? Do you see good deeds being done and want to do your part? Maybe you have a personal attachment to a certain organization. Whatever the case may be, non-profit companies depend on the support of outside/public funding. It is downright imperative to their survival. As you go about your day making plans, please take the time to make a plan to help.
There are so many ways that we can help in our community. Some non-profits are looking for supplies, while some simply need volunteers. Of course, there is the traditional financial donation that allows organizations to stay afloat. Not to mention, some of you are looking for tax breaks, donating to a non-profit allows you to write that donation off.
There are many non-profit organizations in and around the Winston-Salem area that are looking for help from people in our community. People like you! At Macaroni KID Winston-Salem we will be highlighting a different non-profit organization weekly nominated by our readers. If you have a non-profit organization you would like to nominate please email us at mackidwinstonsalem@macaronikid.com. All nominations must be made by a current subscriber of Macaroni KID Winston-Salem. This week, we recognize:

Arts Council is the chief advocate of the arts and cultural sector in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. Our goal is to serve as a leader in lifting up, creating awareness, and providing support to grow and sustain artistic, cultural, and creative offerings throughout our region. A central facet is our ownership and operation of several facilities that provide venues for theatrical and other artistic performances, presentations, events, and other activities. Theatre, dance, music, film, visual, and other arts genres entertain, educate and enrich our community, providing over 800,000 experiences annually. Our Wells Fargo Arts in Education partnership with Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools affords 43,000 youth the opportunity to utilize the arts for integrative learning.
Volunteers are needed to assist with our special artistic events that range from comedy shows to live theatre. Opportunities to work on engagements for young professionals and seasoned adults are available as well. This support helps us to continue to grow as a “City of Arts & Innovation”.
